Inside Logistics - Exploring the Heart of Logistics. Volume XXIII, Number 1

Abstract

Changes in the political-military environment and a revolution in the way that commercial logistics is being conducted are paving the way for new logistics standards in the military. In the US, there is a surge of interest in using the best of these commercial practices, and accompanying this is a move toward privatizing many noncombat logistical functions. While other nations may be undergoing such changes in their thinking, there has been little effort to look at our current system of foreign military sales (FMS) support. However, by adapting these new techniques, it is possible for the US and its allies to improve their mutual logistics support.
